Honoured to review the 126th Infantry Battalion today at Renmore Barracks ahead of their deployment to South Lebanon with UNIFIL. Meeting their families made the day especially meaningful. We are deeply proud of our Defence Forces and their dedication to peace.

Congratulations to Mairead McGuinness on being elected Vice President of the European People’s Party.

It was with profound shock and sadness that I learned today of the loss of Garda Kevin Flatley who died in the course of his duties on Sunday. I extend my heartfelt sympathies to his family, his friends, his colleagues in the Roads Policing Unit and all those who loved him.

Here are Fine Gael’s 4 CAP priorities to ensure we can continue to deliver for farmers, farm families, and our agri-food sector.

This week in the Agriculture Committee, I questioned the European Commission about its new CAP simplification package. One of the proposals allows 3% of CAP funding to be used as a crisis reserve for climate disasters or animal disease outbreaks.

Everything Fine Gael wants to deliver depends on infrastructure. That’s why we’ve established an Infrastructure Taskforce to ensure our communities continue to thrive.

🚘 Motor insurance claims are falling, yet insurance premiums continue to rise. Senator linda murray is calling on insurance companies to lower their premiums in line with the decrease in motor claims.

Today, a clear majority of EU Member States agreed on the need to send a strong signal to Israel to reverse course, to halt its military operations and to lift the blockade on lifesaving aid. Ireland has been leading at an EU level to reach this point. Now it’s time to act.

I am deeply shocked and horrified that the Israeli Defence Forces today opened fire on a group of diplomats visiting the town of Jenin. Thankfully, nobody was killed or injured.

🌈 Today, 10 years ago, Ireland made history and voted for marriage equality.

Thank you to delegates at this evening’s special congress of the Camogie Association, for listening to the voice of players. This evening’s congress ensures players will now have a choice of playing wear between shorts and skorts, giving them a #ChoiceAndChance to thrive.

Fine Gael is backing business. That’s why we’ve established a Small Business Unit that will ensure businesses receive the support they need to thrive.
